 We continued with our commitment to ensure
a safe and healthy work place for all and
progressed ‘beyond compliance’. Our EHS guidelines are designed to ensure world-class performance
in the areas of occupational health and safety.
Although the Indian Factories Act/Rules is comprehensive and is aligned with the requirements of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), we collaborated with the National Safety Council to develop our own Corporate EHS Guidelines, which are far more stringent than Indian statutes and include international standards and best practices.
Towards Zero Accident
All our factories, hotels and large offices have established EHS management systems with designated responsibilities, competent resources, best-in-class infrastructure, state-of-art fire detection & protection systems and latest
electrical equipment, etc. to achieve benchmarked performance in safety. In addition, employee involvement through participation in safety programmes, suggestion schemes and celebrating EHS events have helped develop a safety culture across the organisation.
Our units are required to proactively engage
in the identification of potential hazards and work towards elimination/reduction of risks. New projects/expansion plans are reviewed by internal EHS experts. Engineering control measures
are designed and installed during project implementation. Our EHS teams conduct
exhaustive audits before commissioning projects to ensure compliance.
 A comprehensive incidents/accidents reporting system has been established at every unit. All incidents/accidents are thoroughly investigated to identify the root cause and corrective and preventive measures recommended. The findings and recommendations are discussed at
Safety Committee meetings and circulated
to all Departmental Heads/In-Charges
for implementation.
In order to disseminate the learnings on safety issues, we communicate all serious accident details throughout the Company. The units are therefore equipped to initiate proactive measures to eliminate/control similar situations. |
